- waivedB1 Code Review
- Waived 2026-09-02 — no PR, no CODEOWNERS. One-developer squad, so peer approval is structurally unavailable. Compensating control: the AI review pass below. Accepter:

- waivedB2 Secrets & Code Quality
- Waived 2026-09-02 — container runs as root. Each Cloud Run instance is its own sandbox, and the fix cannot be verified without a rebuild plus a smoke run.
- Waived 2026-09-03 — accepted on the measured severity, not on the finding being clean. The committed GitLab credential is a read-only deploy token (probed 2026-09-01:
push403, REST API 401), so the exposure is contained source disclosure across fourlibrary-pythonrepos rather than a supply-chain compromise. Accepter:TODO(human)
- waivedB3 Integration & E2E
- Waived 2026-09-03 — accepted with the residual exactly as documented above: no Playwright/Cypress browser E2E and no Pact/Schemathesis contract suite. Compensating control: 1674 unit tests at 95.02% coverage (B4) plus the 6/6 smoke pass. Accepter:

- waivedB4 Unit Testing
- Waived 2026-09-02 — no CI-run evidence for this commit, changed-line coverage unmeasured. No Cloud Build history access, and no Codecov project exists, so nobody can measure changed-line until one does.
- waivedB5 UAT
- Waived 2026-09-03 — no UAT plan, script or sign-off artefact exists and none will be produced for this release. Accepted on the strength of B3's smoke pass and B4's 1674-test suite. Accepter:

- Waived 2026-09-02 —
024has no reverse path. Its in-placeUPDATEdestroys what reversing needs, and it raises rather than pretending to roll back. - Waived 2026-09-02 — no dry-run or rollback log. Both need a production-sized staging clone that does not exist.

- waivedB7 Config & Feature Flags
- Waived 2026-09-02 — the deploy sets no environment.
gcloud run deploypasses only--imageand--region, so production config stays console-managed and undiffable, and the first deploy must set all 36 keys by hand. - Waived 2026-09-02 — no runtime kill-switch.
settingsis read once at import and no org flag service exists; not something Ask can fix alone.
